AGENT MULDER TIE APPRECIATION POST:

About 10 years ago I was working for a gaming company doing creature design. After work, I would go home and dissect animals in my garage. I borrowed a tiger carcass from a local taxidermist. I wanted to understand how the jaw muscles worked, so I stop motion animated it.

The muscle on the back of the head (Temporalis) bulges out when the jaw is closed. But when the is jaw is open, it depresses in like the surface of a trampoline. But not uniformly, in a Y shaped pattern.

I ended up getting evicted for stop motion animating tiger parts in my garage…..but it was worth it. I still have hard drives full of animal carcasses reference animations today. Fun Times.

I forgot I was a horror artist

but on the other hand i object to the allegation that a 'loyal malewife transformation' was necessary. MSR is not The Taming Of The Shrew/Moonlighting, they just liked each other on a personally compatible level from day 2 and both of them are hard wired for extremes of devotion, which are demonstrated immediately.

mulder saying 'nothing else matters' about trying to save his baby sister and 'wanting to believe' that she will be returned safe is a demonstration of that absurd devotion and by the time Scully's shown she's not going to turn on him and in fact will take secret military police hostage for him, she's earned that devotion, too. Even when these things aren't directly stated, they can be inferred from their actions.

Even when they don't agree about work things and scientific findings, there are no phases believed the other is shallow/amoral/scum-like/vindictive/faithless, etc.

when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever

I’d rather people just say they hate sydcarm than to insist they’re platonic under every fucking ship edit I see every god damn second
